A hodge podge of power leads a rare Saturday run of the Chattahoochee Bay local from Hilton GA to Dothan AL. 50 carloads of coal, just behind 7 loads of export paper from GP's mill at Cedar Springs GA, from the NS at Hilton made this run necessary. And yes that is a "Home Shop" sticker on the front of the 7735 obviously placed there by an employee that is not impressed with the 7735's reliablity.

The Chattahoochee Bay morning switch local works the north end of the Bayline yard. Seen with the normal GP38's is the CIRR 716 which left Hilton the night before. GWI is obviously moving the unit to another location (Chattahoochee Bay or Bayline??) but I don't know where. It is still wearing the paint scheme of original owner Appalachicola Northern.

All 3 locomotives of the Chattahoochee Bay RR are seen here working at Hilton GA. They are seen on trackage that swings off the NS mainline toward the CIRR yard. Pic was taken from the former CG/NS mainline that is now the Chat's line to Dothan.

The south end of the CIRR yard contains some oddballs today. The old woodyard track contains the 4 locomotives most recently used in Mexico and now stored awaiting their turn at the shops in Panama City FL. Chattahoochee Bay power rests over the weekend in the CIRR yard at right.

The CIRR local arrives Hilton with a pair of Chattahoochee Bay RR GP38's dead in tow after having received some work in the CIRR shops in Cedar Springs. My understanding is the 2882 has suffered major damage and will be moved to the Bayline shops in Panama City FL to see if it is worth repairing.

The CIRR local has just set over a pair of Chattahoochee Bay RR GP38's to todays Chattahoochee Bay power, a pair of Bayline GP38's. The CIRR local is about to couple to a cut of export paper destined for Panama City and set it over to the Chattahoochee Bay local.

The westbound Chattahoochee Bay local is seen passing over their namesake Chattahoochee River. CIRR 716 leads a CHAT GP38. The Chattahoochee Bay recently suffered major damage to their other GP38 so it appears they have borrowed some power from fellow GWI subsidiary Chattahoochee Industrial RR.

Todays Chattahoochee Bay local consists of a little bit of everything. Leading are a pair of Bayline GP38, followed by a former AN SW1500 now lettered for the CIRR. Bringing up the rear is a battered and worn Chattahoochee Bay GP38.
